Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary,

how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.

STORIES~

I have four stories. The two that are finished are also one-shots.

Happy Hunter Games: Everbean Style This is just a parody of the Hunger Games. I started it to be kind of a project on the backburner, but I really love writing it and my updates have been pretty frequent. Katnit Everbean is, as usual clueless, there's something seriously wrong with Peetal Mellurk, Haymill has a severe addiction to Welch's grape juice, and Effel speaks a language that only the grape juice addict understands. I got inspired by Nightlight, the Twilight parody. [WIP]

Longer than I've Known You This is a series of letters between Katniss and Gale, taking place after Mockingjay, but before the epilogue. Gale's in District 2, Katniss is in 12, but in written words they bridge the distance. This may end up expanding into letters from other people too, maybe Haymitch or Mrs. Everdeen or something. It's a little up in the air. [WIP] BrEaKiNg NeWs! I made a poll on some possible letters that I could write. Please vote. :)

It Ends Here Okay, so don't read this if you are one of the following. A) someone who is disturbed easily, B) someone who hopes that Mockingjay will end well, or C) someone who doesn't like to read about lots of people--and I mean lots--dying. Seriously. I got this idea from someone on Mockingjay.net, and the whole idea of it really hit me. Don't think I'm a sadistic freak or something. I'm not. Read more of the explanation in my author's note. Oh, and this is a one-shot. [COMPLETED]

The Forgiving Type Katniss is seventy-five years old. Peeta died seven months ago. On a whim, Katniss decides to go and visit Gale in District 2. ((No, Katniss and Gale don't hook up or anything like that. Gross. They wouldn't that to Peeta. It's just some extra fluff about their friendship, kay?))

I'm not one of those people who reviews everything they read. Mostly because I just don't know what to say, even if I really liked it. So if I review your story, you can take that as a huge compliment. I usually don't review to give constructive criticism or anything, but I don't mind it when it's given to me. I'm not gonna write you hate-mail, trust me. Even if you tell me my stories are terrible and I'm a waste of space on FFdotnet.

This is Katniss and Gale's lives before Katniss volunteered for the Hunger Games and before everything got complicated with Peeta. Right from their very start. This story is a non-overfluffy-fluff zone.

Gale Hawthorne is not a normal boy- everyone knows that. Join me as we travel into his life span of 19 years, and encounter the many times in which he had been 'normal' and could have been a 'normal' boy. A small set of drabbles and one-shots about Gale & Katniss love before and after the Hunger Games. Not all fluffy! -currently being edited-

Co-written with Geeky-DMHG-Fan. What could Peeta possibly need for his honeymoon? Lord knows. Good thing he's got such good friends, like Gale and Finnick, to help him figure it all out. Rated T for innuendo and buffoonery. Mind yer retinas. P/K. Very AU

Winner of "Best Depiction of Ron" at the 2009-10 Ron/Hermione Awards on Livejournal. The story of Ron and Hermione's complicated romance, with added biscuits. Not remotely fluffy despite the title, and rated M for later chapters.

Breaking up is hard to do, but Ron and Hermione are about to discover that putting the pieces back together is even harder. This story was nominated in 5 categories and Winner of "Best Angst Fic" at the 2008 Ron/Hermione Awards on LiveJournal.
